An Aluminium Fuel Cell – Why Is UK government Blocking It?
Update: at the end of the video where the video audio becomes mysteriously corrupted as the converstaion turned to the advice from the business advisor’s that he went to see.
The statement that he got from these financiers was that the UK government will only support “electrically rechargeable” batteries. Meaning, “only that can be charged with nuclear power” imo

When China was still largely rural, poor, and socialist, politicians exhorted the country’s people to patriotic activities such as increasing grain output for their economy’s sake. Now, to sustain China’s economic boom, the country needs good citizens to go shopping.
And the people have obliged. Between 2000 and 2010, consumption in China multiplied from about $650 billion to nearly $1.4 trillion, and the country’s big spenders have become notorious for ravenously gobbling up pricey Swiss watches and high-end handbags. Today Chinese shoppers’ appetites extend well beyond China’s borders, and can sway the fortunes of global fashion labels. Japan even coined the term bakugai to refer to an explosive shopping spree by Chinese tourists. The spending power and influence of China’s consumers will only grow as China’s middle class continues to rapidly expand.
Excerpts from Interview with Karl Gerth:
“….I think the Chinese dream is the American dream plus 10%. It’s not the European dream of restraint and conservation. I think they’re closer to Americans. They want even more, bigger, better—….
Chinese now see demand, in other words consumer desire, not as the death of production but rather as the start. Stoking consumer desire is one way of generating economic growth, rather than just, as socialist countries famously did, making steel and other producer goods ad infinitum as an end in itself. They push the idea that the way to make China wealthy and powerful is to stimulate consumer desire and allow economic inequality……
I think that China is a giant Rorschach test. You can look at it and see positive and negative in quite dramatic measures. Call me old-fashioned, but I think planetary survival trumps many other things, and therefore my Rorschach test largely comes up as negative.
There are epic amounts of air pollution, so much so that every person I know who lives in a Chinese major city, their go-to app is to figure out how dangerous the air is that day, and what they should do about it. That is hugely a consequence of of car pollution, plus all the other pollution as a consequences of them going down this developmental path……
Others should also realize that China is coming from a land of huge scarcity.
I would be slightly more tolerant of them wanting a small fraction of what the average American has before telling them that it’s an empty, vacuous existence and that they should focus on satisfying their inner desires through meditation rather than through Big Macs. https://qz.com/994345/the-meteoric-rise-of-chinese-consumerism-will-reshape-the-world-and-maybe-even-destroy-it/

The reactions of the governments involved is bizarre.
This engineer should start making & selling fuel cells for custom electric car conversions. When the performance starts to be publicized, consumer demand would be high enough to get this tech into widespread production.
On thought: It would be very beneficial to identify the people behind-the-scenes trying to stop this tech.
why should i act so suprised
if it cannot kill or mame or make themselves rich, governments are not interested!!!
to me MP’s are jst as bad as drug dealers, mind at least you can get high and enjoyment from drugs!!
Tax, tax tax, eventually this device would ruin the worlds economy which is oil based. Imagine if you could fly without wings and take off from your backyard, this device takes that a step closer
Given the published specs for powering an EV, this fuel cell would indeed change the oil paradigm and usher in the age of the EV. That alone should make bringing this to market this most important thing we could do for the planet. We could cut car-based pollution to NOTHING.

The PTB will block any energy device that is efficient enough to challenge the fossil fuel based systems. The petrodollar must survive for a while longer. Freedom from the big utility companies is achievable, just think back to how people lived before the industrial revolution.

The government won’t support anything that doesn’t have a way of making money, either for them personally or as a tax cow. They go for Solar and Wind because they have a vested interest probably and it also means that because neither of these produce enough energy they can build more and ruin the countryside but it also means that the power has to be provided through conventional means and therefore their investments are safe. it’s always a case of “follow the money”. The wheel will turn, I wish I could have a fuel cell power unit in my house in Spain but I can’t afford it unless someone wants me to be a guinea pig. I thing FC technology is the best way forward and have done since 1996 when I first learned about it. Interestingly Mr Jackson I trained you when I was a PTI in the Royal Navy at Fisgard and again at Royal Arthur. Well done in producing the product I wish I could help you with sponsorship.
